Amokachi Wants Obuh Out Of FC Ifeanyi Ubah
A fresh crisis has rocked
FC IfeanyiUbah after coach Daniel Amokachi demanded the dismissal of the club’s technical director, John Obuh, insisting he has a replacement for the former Flying Eagles handler.
There has been no love lost since ex-Eagles assistant coach Amokachi replaced Obuh as coach of the Nnewi club and the hostility between the two coaches has now taken a new dimension with Amokachi’s insistence that Obuh be fired.
Tidesports learnt that Amokachi is uncomfortable with Obuh’s presence at the club and even believes he is sabotaging his efforts to ensure the big-spending club finish in the top-three bracket this season so as to play international football next year.
“It’s a major crisis and this has been worsened by the fact that the club owner Ifeanyi Ubah is away in the United States of America. The chairman of the club is now in the middle of this personality clash,” a top source informed Tidesports.
“Daniel (Amokachi) has already succeeded in chasing out the assistant coach he met at the club and now he wants to see the back of Obuh.”
IfeanyiUbah crashed to a humiliating 4-0 loss at Enyimba on Wednesday and they are now 10th on the table with 38 points, 14 points adrift of leaders Enyimba.
